• Q: Following this: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=106415&p=1402675
  I am under the impression that an aspect of the question is missing... Detailing the situation: let's say that there is just Tochiko and Ujirou opposing each other when th Engage segment starts. 1) Before Ujirou's action is taken, Tochiko has 7F and Ujirou has 3F 2) Ujirou boosts to 7F, so Tochiko's boost no longer applies, so his force becomes 5 Is this what is supposed to happen?
  In fact, applying Tochiko's trait is a bit weird, because its effect can change its own condition of activation.
  Let's take another situation. Tochiko is facing two personalities: Bob who has 4F, and Joe who has 0F, so Tochiko has 7F. Joe participates in a Strategic Withdrawal: he goes home and gives -3F to Tochiko. I would say that Tochiko has 2F because his trait no longer applies. If Tochiko's controller then plays Allied Efforts to give -3F to Bob, I would say the situation becomes Tochiko 4F vs. Bob 1F.
  More generally, my interpretation is that Tochiko's trait is either active or inactive, then you apply a new effect, and finally you check if Tochiko's boost remains / switches off (if it was active) or activates / remain inactive (if it was inactive). Am I right?
  A: Yes, all that you've said here is correct. Jon Palmer, "Tochiko vs. Daidoji Ujirou or force penalties", 31 Mar 2014
